Are you showing up authentically in your relationships?

Do you ever feel like you’re pretending to be something or someone you’re not, hiding things about yourself, forcing yourself to act a certain way, holding back from saying things you’d like to say, or squashing down feelings?

These are just a few examples of ways you can be showing up as inauthentic with others in relationships.

Something we often hear from women is that they didn’t even realize they were doing these things!

The amazing thing is that once they see it, they’re able to transform it and create something different in dating and relationships.

The simple truth is that if you aren’t able to show up as the real authentic you, it’s impossible for someone to fall in love with you – because you aren’t even really there!

There is one thing that is always underneath the inability to be authentic.

Can you guess it?

If you said FEAR, you were right!

Being inauthentic shows up from an underlying fear that if you do or say a certain thing, then something will or won’t happen.

So you’re always either:
1) Trying to avoid having something happen, or

2) Trying to force or make something happen

And THAT’S why dating and relationships feel “hard” and “exhausting”!

It actually takes much more energy to avoid or force things, hold back, not be authentic, and pretend to be someone you’re not.

When you’re exhausted from trying to figure out who you need to be, squashing down your feelings and people pleasing, when you’re not doing and saying what comes naturally to you, you simply can’t have fun in relationships either!

Plus, you really can’t keep up with pretending for very long.

So- how do you transform these fears that are causing you to be inauthentic?

Recognize and identify the fears that are holding you back.

What are the fears that have you holding back the real you in relationships?

Fill in the blank: “If I show up as my true self ____________ will/won’t happen.”

If you’re not aware of why you’re pretending, resisting, etc., there’s no way for you to transform that.

Go deeper.

What’s underneath the fear you uncovered in Step One?

Then, what’s underneath that fear?

And underneath that fear?

Do you fear getting angry because you judge how you act when you’re angry?

Does that cause you to hold back feelings and create resentment and frustration in dating?

Do those feelings cause you to attract men into your life that do things that make you angry?

See how it’s all connected?

90% or more of your attention is going to the thing you’re trying to avoid!

Getting under the layers of the fear is what will help you to transform it.

Let go of the story behind the fear and create something different.

We create exactly what we are doing and who we are being.

If you’re hiding in your relationships, you’re going to attract men that hide things from you and lie.

If you’re prepending in your relationships, you’re going to attract men that pretend and don’t show you who they really are.

If you’re holding back in your relationships, you’re going to attract men that aren’t emotionally available.

It’s all connected.

When you do the work to transform your fears and the stories behind them, then you can attract a different type of man, experience what you want, and create a relationship where you are loved, adored, cherished, and accepted for who you are.

When you learn to activate your energy toward the things you desire to create, that’s when life changes.

Do you feel like this is something that’s holding you back, but you aren’t sure why?

If you’re curious about getting underneath the surface of what has you people-please, pretend, or feel like you can’t be yourself in relationships, schedule a love breakthrough session now.

It’s time for you to be loved just the way you are!

Think about what it will be like to break through the fears that have been holding you back for 10, 20, 30 (or more!) years!!

How amazing will it be to leave all of that in the past and move forward with true, authentic confidence in yourself and how you show up and communicate in relationships?

That’s what we want for all women AND for you.

We want you to feel free to be yourself so that you can be loved for everything you are and everything you’re not.

And we want you to know that that’s possible for you to create it now.

The Secret to Going from Disappointed to Delighted in Dating!

by heartsdesireintl | Apr 6, 2021 | Coaching, Dating, Getting engaged, Heart's Desire International, Ready to Love Again, Self-Love

by Gladys Diaz

Guess what?

We have a little secret for you…. ready?!

Dating does not have to be a heavy, horrible or disappointing experience.

Dating can (and should be) enjoyable, exciting and fun!

The best part of the secret is that it’s up to you!

Now hear this, if you’re feeling disappointed with dating, you’re not alone which is why we’re sharing some tips on how you can create the experience you want to be having in dating.

First of all, if you’re feeling like dating isn’t being what you wish it would be, take a look at your mindset.

Are you afraid you won’t be attracted to anyone you meet?
Are men not responding the way you wish they would on the apps?
Do you feel like it’s an endless texting game and you never get asked on an actual date?
Do you worry that you won’t say the right thing?
Are you afraid a man won’t be attracted to you?

What are your thoughts about dating?

This is so important because if you’re having these types of thoughts and fears, and you’re unaware of them, most likely they are running the show and showing up in your experience.

Once you’re aware of them, you can do the Heart Work to turn them from beliefs into fleeting thoughts so that you’re not setting yourself up for disappointment but rather delight!

The second secret in loving dating is to let go of expectations.

Whether you’re disappointed about where you are in life right now versus where you thought you’d be or if your experience with a man isn’t adding up to what you hoped… those disappointments are coming from unmet expectations.

So, get honest with yourself and then stop making it mean anything.

You are where you are and what’s happening is what’s happening. You can either be someone who lets life dictate who they’re going to be OR you can be the kind of woman who decides how you’re going to show up no matter what.

When you let go of expectations and see dating (and life) as an adventure it becomes exciting and fun no matter what happens!

The third secret if you want dating to be fun, is to be prepared.

In order to be interested and interesting, show up knowing the answers to these questions:

What do I want him to know about me?
What do I want to know about him?

Being prepared allows you to let go of your worries and anxieties and make sure that the intention of the date (to get to know each other) is met!

And remember: this is not about being strategic, this is about being authentic.

Which leads us to the final secret…..

Be yourself!

Being yourself allows your fun side to come out which is what makes you attractive.

Being yourself allows you to be vulnerable which is what creates a connection.

Being yourself makes it possible for the man to get to know you.

Being yourself allows your irresistible essence to come out!

The real secret to having fun and experiencing joy in dating is to be the love you want to see!

By being honest about your fears and worries, letting go of expectations, showing up prepared and being yourself, you can (and will) experience all of the fun, joy and excitement dating has to offer.

It really is up to you!

Trust Yourself to Create the Relationship of Your Dreams

by heartsdesireintl | Apr 6, 2021 | Coaching, Communication, Dating, Heart's Desire International, Love, Ready to Love Again, Self-Love

by Gladys Diaz

Do you trust yourself?

Do you feel like you’re someone you can count on?

Do you feel confident in your ability to make the right choices?

Do you believe that you’ll be able to make the big life-changing decisions that will be best for you?

If you don’t trust yourself, you’ll find yourself struggling to make choices (especially big ones!) and then doubting the decision once you do.

This is a stressful way to live!

It also doesn’t lead to being able to create the relationship (and life) of your dreams.

If you answered yes to any of those questions above, what made you stop trusting yourself?

Maybe it was a decision you made that didn’t work out?

Or possibly you realized that you’d made a choice that you’d known wasn’t good for you and it turned out badly?

Or it could be that you simply don’t follow through with the things you say you will do (like waking up at a certain time, exercising daily, etc.) which eventually leads to you feeling like you can’t count on yourself.

When these things go unhealed, the trust in yourself fades and you begin to doubt even the most basic of decisions.

Sound familiar?

So, how do you rebuild that trust so you can feel confident in your ability to be the leader of your life?

Recognize what you’re still holding onto that’s causing you to doubt yourself.

The first thing you need to do in the process of rebuilding trust with yourself is to recognize what it was that began the erosion of trust in the first place.

For example, one of our clients had married a man who she’d known was not good for her. Before they got married, her intuition had tried to warn her he had character flaws she shouldn’t overlook but she chose to marry him anyways.

After years of dishonesty and affairs, and a few children later, she finally removed herself from the situation but she continued to carry that around with her.

She thought that if she continued to hold that decision from years ago against herself that it would help her to not make the same mistake again.

But that’s not how it works.

When you continue to hold something against yourself that you did in the past all you’re actually doing is perpetuating the experience of doubting yourself which will only lead to the same experiences you’ve created in the past.

So what do you do?

Accept the impact that the decision had on your life and forgive yourself.

You must accept the things in your life that the decision created for you and then stop holding onto the past.

Have it be okay that the woman that made the decision you made, was doing the best she could do at the time! It’s easy to look back and wish we’d chosen differently with what we know now, but unfortunately that’s not how it works. We learn from our mistakes and seeing them as opportunities for growth helps you to forgive yourself.

When you forgive yourself and let go of the past, you open up the opportunity for new experiences to come in. The energy that you were using to continually beat yourself up, you can now take and use to create something extraordinary.

Identify the values you have for yourself and consistently move forward with them.

Once you’ve let go of the past, forgiven yourself and committed to moving forward then you must do so with integrity and consistency to rebuild that broken trust!

Identify what you value, what matters to you most, and do those things consistently.

If you say you’ll wake up at 6am every morning, do it! If you say you’ll exercise 3 times this week, make sure it happens!

Become the kind of person you can count on because if you end up snoozing the alarm and not getting out of bed until 7 or if you only exercise 1 or 2 times when you said 3… it will continue to be hard to trust yourself.

The more you’re able to count on yourself, the more you’ll believe in your ability to create the relationship of your dreams!

You may need some support with any of these steps and if you do, that’s where we come in! A lifetime of doubting yourself makes it difficult to believe you can create the things that you want.

If you’d like support identifying what it is that has you doubting yourself, figuring out how to forgive yourself and let it go, or create some accountability in consistently moving forward with your goals and rebuilding that trust with yourself, book a Love Breakthrough Session Now!

Remember, you are not your decisions or your mistakes.

Open yourself up and free your heart, mind and soul so that you irresistible essence can shine through!

Ditch Control and Inspire the Man in Your Relationship!

Do you know what’s kryptonite to relationships and a behavior a lot of women don’t even realize they have?

It’s one of the things that is most unattractive to men and will diminish the love and respect in a relationship faster than anything else.

It’s also one of the things we get asked about by women the most because, when they recognize it as a pattern, they immediately know they want to adjust.

Can you guess what it is?

We’re talking about control.

Being controlling isn’t just unattractive, it’s extremely ineffective in relationships. We want to support you in understanding what control looks like and how you can adjust your behavior so that you can have less control and a lot more love and respect in your relationship.

Trying to control my husband through constant criticism and correcting was something I didn’t even realize I was doing for a very long time. It’s also what almost led to us splitting up.

What I felt was me being supportive, encouraging, and helpful was actually diminishing, emasculating, and stripping away the love and intimacy in my marriage. But it was a blindspot for me. I just didn’t see how controlling I was being.

Since you can’t change a behavior you don’t know you have, what does control look and sound like?

The most common form control takes is through your communication.

You may think you’re simply “being honest” with your partner or sharing your feelings with someone you’re dating… But the words you choose you may be coming off as controlling.

Let’s say, for example, that you would really like to have more conversations on the phone with the man you’re dating…

Do you say, “You never call me like you used to.” or “Call me tomorrow at 5pm”?

If so, you are exhibiting control.

Why?

Because, in the first statement, you’re not saying what you want or how you feel. You’re complaining.

In the second statement, you’re telling him what to do and when to do it.

So, how can you say this instead?

Say, “I’d love to chat on the phone soon!” or “I would prefer to talk on the phone more often.”

These statements focus 100% on you and serve as a very appealing invitation to call you.

Let’s say you’d like to go away for the weekend with your partner.

Do you say, “We should go somewhere together this weekend?”

Yep, that’s controlling.

Instead, say, “I’d love to go away together.”

These simple adjustments in your communication are inspiring to a man and show love for him and respect for his desires and feelings, while at the same time expressing yours.

The reason control is kryptonite in a relationship is because when a man feels like he’s being controlled, he will do one of two things.

He will dig his heels in and refuse to do the thing you’d like him to do.
He will submit.

You don’t want either of those things!

You want a man to be inspired to be with you, to desire to make you happy, and to have fun, lightness and joy present in your relationship.

Wonder what causes that almost-immediate urge to tell him what to do and say?

The urge to control always stems from a fear that something is or isn’t going to happen.

So, how do you shift out of that fear and, instead, show your man that you respect him and see him as a strong man, capable of making good decisions, and trusting that he wants to make you happy?

Before you speak, ask yourself these three questions:

What am I afraid will/will not happen if I don’t say this?
How can I say what I want to say, focusing solely on what I’m feeling and want to express without bringing him or his actions into the statement.
What emotion will I inspire in my partner by saying this?

It takes some conscious effort to interrupt that internal chatter that;s always going on in our heads and think about how the words we choose will land for our partners.

Shifting out of a pattern of control isn’t easy, but it is so worth it!

And as you practice, it becomes easier and easier to do.

If you’d like some support in shifting a pattern of control in your dating experiences or relationships, let us support you by booking a Love Breakthrough Session with one of our coaches. On this call, we’ll explore what some of your control triggers are, and give you some clear steps on what to do to shift from controlling to inspiring your man!

Like we said, many times, these controlling behaviors are things you may not even realize you have, and with some support to help you see them, you can completely transform them and create more love and intimacy in your relationship.

Book a Love Breakthrough Session Now!

When a man feels respected, loved and connected to you, he will do just about anything to make you happy.

Choose your words wisely so you inspire that type of connection in your relationship!

How to Get Unstuck and Experience Love Now!

Are you having a hard time getting over a past relationship?

Have you done everything you know to do, and you still find yourself longing for someone that’s long gone?

When thinking about that past relationship, do you find yourself thinking…

…“But I still love him.”

…“I really thought he was the one.”

…“How will I know I’m choosing the right man next time, when I was wrong this time?”

We hear these things from women all the time, and if you’re in this position right now, we’re here to call you forward and say: It’s time to let it go!

If you’re still energetically connected to someone, whether you say you are or not, then it’s really difficult (if not impossible!) for someone new to come into your life.

And, even if you do meet someone who you’re compatible with, the chemistry’s there, and you have a great time with him, it will still feel like something is off.

It’s simply not possible to create something new and lasting if there is something in the space that you haven’t let go of.

If you’ve been “getting over someone” for 9 months, 2 years, 12 years, 40 years, it’s time to get curious about why feel as if you’re not able to move on.

What’s really keeping you stuck?

Sometimes it’s the person and the past relationship you feel you can’t let go of.

Sometimes it’s the idea of the past relationship that you’ve glorified in your mind that’s keeping you stuck.

But, more often than not, it’s the fear that you won’t be able to feel the same way you felt about that someone again, and you’re afraid to let go and even try.

Here’s the thing…

Think about when you were a little girl at recess, swinging on the monkey bars.
You couldn’t just hang on to one bar forever, right?
At some point, you had to have the courage to let go of one hand so that you could move forward.
And then you had to do the same thing with the other hand: Let go… and move forward.

It’s the same thing when it comes to moving forward from a past relationship.

You have to find the courage to let go of the past in order to move forward and create something new.

The work there is to do is to accept what actually happened in the past relationship and complete it so that you can be present in current experiences, move forward and be happy NOW!

You don’t have to let go of the love you had/have for that person. You can choose to love him forever, if you want to.

What you do need to let go of is the attachment to being with him and having him be a part of your life… even if that part is only in your head.

We believe there are people that come into our lives to teach us things or give us experiences that we need to have.

When you can accept that a past relationship was simply that, and you are able to release it and move forward, that’s when magic starts to occur.

Letting go and moving on from someone doesn’t have to take a year OR years!

When you make yourself the victim of someone else’s choices, it robs you of your power and you sacrifice:

Having happiness now
Experiencing the relationship of your dreams now
Attracting the man that will love you fully and completely for the rest of your life
And everything else your heart desires

When you stop allowing someone else to determine whether or not you get to have the relationship of your dreams, you take back your power and you begin to attract men who are right for you now.

If you’re ready to let go of your past and move forward into the love you dream about then let go of one hand and join us this weekend for the Extraordinary Love Intensive! This 3-day event starts TODAY at 12:00pm ET, and it’s exactly what you need to get unstuck right now.
